The Game and Watch was not what started Nintendo's video game making career, this was. It was made in the first generation of video games, and was more advanced than things like Pong. But what was really important is that it started Nintendo's game making career, and Nintendo saved video games (in America, at least) with the NES. Also, Sonic the Hedgehog going really fast was inspired by the creator speed running World 1-1 Super Mario Bros. Nintendo also accidentally inspired the PlayStation. Sony was going to make a CD add-on for the SNES, but Nintendo stopped the deal. This led to Sony making a CD console, the PlayStation. Also, one of the first creators of a first-person shooter was inspired to make video games by Nintendo. What console has a lot of first-person shooter games? The Xbox! They also innovate video games a lot, with things like motion controllers. And how did Nintendo start? THE COLOR T.V. ! So, that is why you should vote for the Color T.V..
